Violet almost believed it was before she remembered he was Alex's best friend. As such, Aiden would always be around.
"Goodbye, Aiden," she said, breaking his last shred of hope. With a forced smile, Aiden turned around and never looked back again, though he hoped that Violet would have a change of mind and call him back.
Dialing Alex's number, his message was short. "Alex, this is goodbye. I will keep you updated on the events of New Orleans."
Alex was strangely saddened. After receiving the video, he felt that it was over and Aiden's words proved it.
"Take good care of yourself out there, my dear friend." He had wanted to inform Joanna but felt it wrong for them to control Violet's life.
If Bennet made her happy, then who were they to stand in her way? Violet returned to the restaurant, seeing a relief sigh on Bennet's face.
Oh, how she wished she could tear it off, especially when she had to fake being nice the whole time.
